6 6 Flight Path 13 13A – UCN Beamline nEDM 13B – Cold Neutrons NPDGamma

7 7 FNPB Performance Matches Model Predictions

8 8 SNS is now fully operational ~9 months of scheduled beam delivery per year

9 9 Reliability against schedule is quite good Beam Delivery ~450 MWhrs/month Accelerator Power typically ≥ 1MW and slowly increasing

10 10 Required Data Collection David estimates that we need ~ 80 FULL MW-days of LH 2 data* to attain a statistical sensitivity of ~10 -8 on A γ. This estimate includes current best estimates of flux, polarization, transmission efficiencies, choppers bandwidth, run cycle losses, etc. This estimate does NOT include LH 2 reliability At 450 MW-hrs/month, this implies that we need ~4.2 calendar months of live LH 2 data. *An additional ~12 days of Al data is estimated to be required
